Wouldn't the van be number plate recognition, rather than speed. You'd have to be pretty stupid or oblivious to your surroundings to speed on that stretch of road anyway!

Don't think so. Check the Pistonheads link, there's a guy who got done on that very stretch of road.

Two fixed cameras and a van?

Anyone stupid enough to speed along that stretch of road deserves to get done!

Either that or he's catching people who only slow for the camera.

The usual overblown reactions on Pistonheads.
No one really knows what the van is doing there so it is all supposition.
Bottom line is if you do the crime then do the time.

Completely agree, but if they didn't act and react the way they do, it wouldn't have the same personality really.

Bang on Mike!

SiBradbury · Jul 1st, 2007, 11:30 PM

Who cares??? If you get done there, you're a MORON!! Theres already one camera for each carriageway AND you can see that van a mile off!!!

That bloke should get 12 points just cos he must have been doing a handstand while driving not to spot three speed cameras!! He was clearly driving without the aid of his guide dog!

(still not sure whats sneaky about it tho???)

Thats what i though

, i dont know what people are moaning about, you wouldnt speed through a set of cameras anyway, so what difference does it make if the police are there aswell. The only thing i can find to moan about is wasting police man hours when cameras are there.

There is regularly a number plate van like that out on the a13 every few weeks, i back it personally.

Ive stopped viewing pistonheads to be honest, they come across as a bunch of sad old men who moan about anything and everything.
